Caretta caretta), green turtle (Chelonia mydas), hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) and the northern quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus), as well as numerous rare plants and extensive mangrove communities. The Site supports an abundance of waterbirds such as ducks, plovers, sandpipers and egrets. It contains many archaeological sites and features of indigenous, Macassan and European origin, and an ongoing ‘living culture’ that is maintained by the Arrarrkbi, the traditional indigenous owners of Cobourg Peninsula. The majority of the Site is managed as a conservation reserve, with some tourism and education, commercial fishing and low-level traditional owner hunting and gathering. In the surrounding areas, cultured pearl farming, aquarium fish harvesting, mud crabbing, mackerel trolling and mineral exploration take place.]]>https://rsisdev.ramsar.org/ris/1Fri, 01 Nov 2013 12:13:30 +0100Cobourg Peninsula1Wed, 05 Jul 2017 18:13:06 +0200Wed, 08 May 1974 12:13:30 +0100https://rsisdev.ramsar.org/ris/1OceaniaAustraliaAUCaretta caretta), green turtle (Chelonia mydas), hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) and the northern quoll (Dasyurus hallucatus), as well as numerous rare plants and extensive mangrove communities.

The Site is a complex of shallow coastal waters, sandbanks, lagoons, sand and shingle beaches, coastal meadows, moorsfeaturing Calluna and Erica heathers, damp heaths and some limited areas of cultivated land. It is one of the most important gathering points in northern Europe for migrating shorebirds and raptors during the autumn migration, and regularly supports over 280,000 waterbirds. These internationally significant numbers include well over 1% of the corresponding biogeographic populations of the Brent goose Branta bernicla, the barnacle goose Branta leucopsis and andthe common eider Somateria mollissima. The Site is an important area for breeding, staging and wintering waterbirds, and also an important reproduction area for the harbour seal Phoca vitulina and the gray seal Halichoerus grypus. The shallow coastal waters provide important fish spawning grounds and nursery areas, particularly for the critically endangered eel Anguilla anguilla and species of flatfish. The area is very attractive for outdoor recreation and many private boats visit during the summer.]]>https://rsisdev.ramsar.org/ris/14Tue, 18 Sep 2018 12:13:30 +0200Falsterbo-Foteviken 14Mon, 01 Oct 2018 10:12:29 +0200Thu, 05 Dec 1974 12:13:30 +0100https://rsisdev.ramsar.org/ris/14EuropeSwedenSEThe Site is a complex of shallow coastal waters, sandbanks, lagoons, sand and shingle beaches, coastal meadows, moorsfeaturing Calluna and Erica heathers, damp heaths and some limited areas of cultivated land.

Anser fabalis and common crane Grus grus stage at the Site. The wetland provides sediment and nutrient retention and export as well as important hydrological services such as water purification and flood control. Human activities include fishing and cattle grazing as well as recreation and tourism. The disappearance of the formerly extensive common club-rush Schoenoplectus lacustris has led to changing hydrological conditions, exposure to wind, and fewer nesting opportunities for wetland birds. The common reed Phragmites australis has also decreased; the reasons for these changes are not clear but overgrazing by greylag goose and cattle as well as floods in 2007 have probably contributed. Investigations are ongoing to find what measures have to be taken. Various conservation measures have been taken to improve the opportunities for nesting and resting birds, fish and plants. The catfish Silurus glanis has been reintroduced and the population is increasing. The Site is noted for its innovative nature tourism activities; a new visitor centre was inaugurated in 2010.]]>https://rsisdev.ramsar.org/ris/16Thu, 06 Apr 2017 12:13:30 +0200Helge å16Wed, 22 Aug 2018 17:26:50 +0200Thu, 05 Dec 1974 12:13:30 +0100https://rsisdev.ramsar.org/ris/16EuropeSwedenSEAnser fabalis and common crane Grus grus stage at the Site.
